Seriously? With a name of 1987 I thought you would have seen more impressive. Besides the shooting percentage I am sure there have been guys who have averaged close to triple double averages for a month or who have averaged 40ppg a month with really good reb/ast numbers. MJ in 88 possibly?

[unbreakable]

You realize on a NON -SUPER STACKED team with 33 shots a night he could average like 37 ppg 7 ass 7 reb if he didnt mind his FG% dropping to about 49-51%. ... could maybe even average 40 if he had that kind of mentality.. 40 easy.

But instead we settle for this because he wants to play on a super stacked team.

um.. without the super stacked team, all his stats will drop. he's going to get double teamed all game long, you think he'll still be this effective? he's going to shoot around 40%, grab only around 3-4 rebounds because there are bodies on him, and he's only going to get around 3-4 assists because there is no wade or bosh or ray allen to pass to.

without his super stacked team:
25 points 4 rebounds 4 assists 40%
still great though.

look at all the single star-led teams in the past decade. the single star can still average a high amount of points.. but at the expense of taking a high volume of shots which decreases the FG percentage..

assists naturally go down as you have to shoulder more of the scoring load, and your teammates aren't as likely to make their shots.

Didn't he play with Jeff Mcinnis, Eric Snow, Larry Highes, Sasha Pavlovic, Drew Gooden, and Zydrunas Ilgauskus? Does that looks like an all star supporting cast to you?

Really Cause HE has never averaged under 47% from the Field. The Cavs were never Super Stacked and he averaged 35,10,8 one year in the Playoffs. He easily surpassed all those numbers U posted since his Rookie season. Do U know your a troll or are you serious with some of your posts? Why cant U admit he is better than KObe ever was and will finish ranked higher all time.

Nope but since a Kobe troll made an asinine post I had to bring him up.

So that one series is all that matters, and his 4 years with those guys (and 2 more with Mo Williams, Wally, Varejao, and 39 y/o Shaq) don't?

His 30/9/7 on 50%, his 32/6/6 on 48%, his 28/7/7 on 49%, none of those happened?

What did he win exactly in that time??

When the defense clamped down on him he struggled/ choked/ whatever you want to call it. He couldnt win as a lone superstar was the point.
You're arguing BUT HIS NUMBERS WERE GOOD:facepalm

some bald dude, what's his name, averaged 32-8-8 for an entire season.

some older dude earlier averaged an entire triple-couble for the season dude.

When was that ever my point? You're changing an argument into something else. I was responding to a post that said he would average 25/4/4 on 40% if he ever had an unstacked team. There's no point in this thread in which I was arguing he could win alone...

You do know he played on the Cavs for 7 years, right? You know, that team where his #2 guy was Mo Williams... and that lost 26 straight and went 19-63 after Lebron left.

He averaged 29.7p 8.6a & 7.3r on .503 in his last year.

What is this first player selective stats bullshit crap?

Kobe was the first player to score 80+pts while shooting more than 60% from the field since Wilt Chamberlain weak era.. See.. I can also make my own, pretty easily.. :facepalm

Um... FG%? I could make 40ppg taking 40 shots no prob. You cant just ignore how many shots are taken. Lebron could average 50 ppg if he wanted. But he wants to win teh finals. And he gets his teammates involved.


In MJs day people had no problem riding his coattails and jus twatching him play. During this age everyone is good and wants the ball. Lebron cant just take 30 shots a game like MJ.

[OldSchoolBBall]

13 Games - 29.7 PPG | 7.5 RPG | 7.8 APG | 64 FG% | 1.8 SPG | .6 BPG

Jordan 3/1/90-4/1/90: 37.1 pts/7.9 reb/6.0 ast/3.8 stl/.9 blk/56% FG/33.1 GameScore

Jordan 3/1/89-4/1/89 - 28.5 pts/8.7/11.2 ast/51% FG/26.6 GameScore

By comparison, Lebron in February has a 28.2 GameScore average. And this is if we just look at months exclusively rather than any 30-day span, in which case Jordan had month-long stretches like these:

32.7 pts/9.9 reb/10.7 ast/2.5 stl/.8 blk/51% FG/30.5 GameScore

38.1 pts/7.7 reb/5.8 ast/3.6 stl/1.0 blk/56% FG/33.7 GameScore

PLAYOFFS - 38.4 pts/7.4 reb/6.8 ast/3.2 stl/.9 blk/52% FG/30.6 GameScore

PLAYOFFS, 3 Weeks - 37.5 pts/7.8 reb/8.3 ast/2.7 stl/53% FG/31.4 GameScore


I'm sure guys like KAJ, Shaq, Bird, Magic, and Wilt have had similar/better months than Lebron too.

Let's be honest, Lebron lost 2 finals playing "his" way. Hes 1-3. Don't pretend like all Lebron does is win win win. MJ and even Kobe "selfishly" shots their teams to the championship 6 and 5 times respectively thanks to their "teams". They didn't do it by themselves.

[STATUTORY]

why does the thread title say "shoot" when he scores primarily with dunks and layups? :confusedshrug:

partial out all the fastbreak dunks and layups then tell me what his fg% is.

A layup is worth just as many points as a jumper, you know? He's shooting 42.7% on shots more than 10 ft away for the season btw.

[Sarcastic]

I love how they always put caveats with Lebron. They always adjust minimum attempts to either include him, or exclude someone else.

Sure. In February (the subject of this thread), on 3s it's 43%, on shots just inside the 3 (16-23) he shot 63% (yeah, that's not a typo...), and on 3-15 feet, he shot 68%.

Was that sufficient?

[Mr. Incredible]

So much better than Kobe. Not even close.

LeBron is laying it up from the 3 point line so it's skewing his average.

So with your logic, lets take away three pointers from Kevin Durants PPG and see how many points he scores per game because he shoots so many

:roll:

Y'all LeBron haters crack me up.

And there's a minimum attempt number on the stat so that random role players that only played 20 minutes a game and made 3 out of 4 shots don't get accounted for. Come on people. :facepalm

:oldlol: at comparing FG % straight up. Lebron is doing this while taking 3.4 three's a game (at 43% in February). Jordan's highest FG % seasons all came when he took 0.6-1.2 three's a game (at 18%, 28%, and 31%). Moreover, Lebron is not jacking 25+ shots along with 10-11 FTA a game to achieve these results. Lebron's efficiency is off the charts and comes within the team context. If he were limited to only taking 2 pointers he would likely be around 67-69%. No perimeter player has ever approached this level of efficiency.

We are all witnesses. :bowdown:

you forgot Carlos Boozer and Big Z was an all star in 05, along with Hughes still being a very productive player.

Not an all star supporting cast by any means, but people always love to leave out that Big Z was a 2x all star & Carlos Boozer made a name for himself in a Cavs uniform


This is a great accomplishment but surely 64% is a very selective stat.

Why not 65? why not 63?

EDIT: Barkley's stats a few pages ago are a good example

EDIT: Barkley's stats a few pages ago are a good example
Carlos Boozer was a sophomore and LeBron was a rookie. I said 4 years for a reason - I wasn't including his rookie year in assessing his statistical potential. Larry Hughes was absolute crap when he got to the Cavs and was never "productive" with them at all. And yeah I know Z was an all star in 2005 (and 2003) - but after that it was downhill and it's not like you needed to be a great player to make it as a center on the Eastern All star team. Can anyone even name the second best big in the East in 2005 after Shaq?

I was never trying to make any point other than what you already conceded, he never played with an All Star level supporting cast. Yeah Boozer was there (in LeBon's rookie year, so that means next to nothing) and yeah Z had one all star year.

And yeah 64% is selective, but it's selected based on the fact that it's his shooting percentage. If someone was to score at least 67, they would say "the last person to score 67 was in 200X). You can be selective when you're talking about just one stat. It's not like they said "last person to average 29, 7, 7, and 64% and 43% 3s, etc. etc. They just said last person to shoot this high. There's no issue of being too selective there.
